Maglev is the answer! ^0^! It's better for the environment AND the people. If the Chinese manage to keep the Maglev fare cheap, why wouldn't Japan be able to do the same?

Nemoflow: That is what I meant, so I agree with most of what you said. By removing benefits and pressuring financially on the parents it seems like the government hopes to make the parents force out parasite singles. This in turn would force parasite singles to take a larger part…

I wish shops here offered petite sizes, but unfortunately Japanese women have long torsos as an average. As a petite woman, normal pants have waists too high for me and I don't like to look like Fred Astaire. Low-waist jeans sometimes to the trick, but then there's the waist/hip ratio.…

Uniqlo offers great quality of materials for lower prices than most. Other than the recent designer lines, Uniqlo clothing tends to have classic cut and simple, elegant lines so it is very easy to combine with garments one already owns. Uniqlo's materials are so good that I have long-sleeves cotton…

Yelnats at 03:50 PM JST - 6th October: I thought this said David Bowie at first. I would definitely have gone to see it, but now, not so sure.

I have never had Halal food. It does sound healthy, I'd like to try it sometime. I think it's important though that students are offered variety so that the needs of one group does not trample the needs of others.
